Beschreibung

An “enlightening” illustrated exploration of the scientific factors that determine success or failure on the golf course (The New York Times). 
 
What happens in the brain during the preshot routine? Does head movement hinder swing performance? Will I hit the ball farther with a longer driver? Why do I lose distance into the wind? What can I learn from watching my ball in flight? How should practice be structured? What are the key stats in golf that I need to know? 
 
Golf is perhaps the most complicated simple game ever invented. Legends like Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods make the sport look easy, but anyone who has ever picked up a club knows how truly frustrating golf can be. The success of each shot depends on a diverse range of factors, from the club you choose and the speed with which you swing it, to your mood, the weather, and even the type and cut of the grass. Science plays a crucial role in most, if not all, of these factors, and in Golf Science, sports science expert Mark F. Smith investigates the cutting-edge scientific wonders that take the ball from tee to hole—addressing facets from equipment to environment to technology to mind and body with the aid of explanatory diagrams and illustrations.
